Re: And we miss Coachella, much like the deserts miss the rain.

Ha, yes, I had forgotten but that is true. But then it turned out I was going to be in Los Angeles for a business meeting anyway that week, so why not?

This year, the only reason I would end up going would be if I had secured a summer internship that all but guaranteed I would be offered a post-MBA position at the company with a starting salary of at least in the six figures. Then I wouldn't need to worry about missing anything because my performance for the next year and a half would be pretty irrelevant. But seeing that the probability of that happening is about 1%, I think it's pretty likely I'm going to end up sitting at home this year.

I'm out too. I'm planning to make it to one of the SF festivals and one of the Washington festivals later in the year, though, so (unreleased graduate seminar schedule permitting) maybe I'll see some of you that way.
